In honor of the “19 Kids and Counting” star turning 46, Michelle’s kids decided to give their mother a long-overdue updated look — with the help of her best friend Cindy.

But as Tuesday’s episode played out, it was apparent that some people just don’t like change.

Once the ambush makeover was underway, Michelle had eight inches of her long curly brown locks chopped off and blown out straight into a sleek new style. It was the most amount of hair she’d ever had cut off at one time, and, understandably, would take some getting used to from someone who hasn’t changed their hair in 40 years.

“I do like it longer,” Jim Bob said. Then he repeated it again, “I do like it longer” (ie, I do not like it presently).

And so, while she sported the new look for her birthday party, Michelle didn’t keep the sleek style for long — she quickly reverted to looking 20 years older her natural curls and ’80s bangs after the birthday bash.
